So you might have a script that does stuff as a library, and it should get environment variables and other info from the calling script. You use the same script for doing one off stuff on different computers.

So you make it do something slightly different or make it set it’s path and look into the current folder when you run it directly. This change in logic could be in a few points in the script.

Now think about this, you have logic that doesn’t make sense when run directly, but you need it to be a library.

You have multiple name=main statements in some of your functions

Yeah, and you assume other drivers won’t drive in the wrong lane

Average sysadmin origin, thank you for your service

By looking up pirate primary sources that are behind paywalls. I said, sources are paywalled, go look it up.

The majority of new Linux users are buying Chromebooks or other devices with it prebuilt

Sorry, sources are all paywalled.

Sales in these devices are up, while PCs are stagnant. Go look

My workplace barely groks opportunity cost on their main product, and I’m not responsible for the IT. When it breaks constantly, I say “yeah we know it breaks like this, get them to fix it.”

Not my circus, I just stamp the tickets.

Chromebook/ tablet people mostly.

The most likely users for Linux desktop, don’t need a tower. Storage and computing are compact enough.

The heavy compute workload people have a lot of history of how and what they use, they need to explore their own migration path.

What do you use for video calls with screen share?

My coop uses teams and I want to move them off it.

So now my clients will have a harder time engaging with my product. Great.

It will be funny if they try, because plenty of presentation setups will break

“nice shoes, wanna fuck?”

Gotta say, if you are a bit spicy and they are too, if your shirt matches their shoes this might result in a date.

pass by phone

That’s a ticket I would go and overnight mail a pre configured IP KVM

You are wrong on the point that essential decisions can be made without history. You don’t know the first thing about what knowledge actually is, and I asked you that because I didn’t think you could answer and it confirmed for me that you are uneducated.

You didn’t do the barest minimum of work on this, your opinion is uneducated and you are being disrespectful.

Can? How? Go read any intro book on epistemology. You are talking out of your ass and it’s disrespectful to everyone that actually takes knowledge and human progress seriously.

Nah. Define your axioms like I said. If you won’t, you can’t.

You apparently have no idea

Define “tainted”, “wrong”(your word I never used that word) and how the context of history is not required to detect such things.

Define what we know in a way that doesn’t have a historical basis.

That’s a very uneducated take, and shows that you don’t understand how access to information can be changed, and modeled to elicit certain outcomes.
